Glad to see you picked up on that reference so quickly. <g> So if the 'hold-time' for the pies is 24 hours, timed by a clock in a chip, how many people can sue for getting a 100-year-old pie on 01/01/00? How much can they get? This is a very serious problem for Mayor McCheese and his admistrative lackeys, Hamburglar, Fry Goblins, etc... -MrB

True story - I worked with a guy who designed one of the machines used for processing food at McDonalds. It was the fry machine (sorry, no pies... but they do rhyme). The 'taters are carried along a conveyor belt, into a machine much like a pencil sharpener, that removes the skin (it also removes much of the potato, but 'taters are cheaper than labor). Then, the newly-deskinned tater is forced through a grate, cutting it into the little fries. Then, they are soaked in sugar and grease before being frozen and shipped to your favorite MickeyD's. ~Mitch Food trivia is my life
